Thanks, we have to go with a dolly, since they are cheaper to rent.

Flat bed only!

<sigh> If ya gotta use a dolly then put the front wheels on the dolly
and the car in neutral with the emergency brake off.  Make sure you
double-check!  If towing an automatic then you need to disconnect the
rear axles, the CV joints at the wheel is easiest and allows you to
easily hang the axles.

Still in doubt?  Just ask any of the T3 Portland Invasioneers!

T3 does a 180 on the freeway :-(  Before:
